Jennifer Lopez serves as Executive Producer of new TV show The Fosters and it is getting great reviews

TV REVIEW: 'THE FOSTERS' IS SOLID FAMILY DRAMA
"The Fosters," well-written and very well-acted, doesn't need to be unpredictable to be involving. Intelligent enough for adults, accessible enough for younger viewers and entertaining enough for both, it's a great show for parents and kids to watch together, and will give them plenty to talk about.

Foster Families Take Center Stage
But is The Fosters realistic? I watched it with a real foster family in Washington, D.C.
"Oh God. A hundred percent," says Jamie Smith, an 18-year-old foster kid who sat riveted though the show with her friend Robert Garris and his two foster moms, Meg Gibbon and Angela Pelletier. All of them appreciated how the show handled foster kids' conflicted feelings about their birth parents as well as its sensitive depiction of showing up in a strange home, not knowing where you'll sleep, and even coping with abuse.

The Fosters’ worth a watch every week
The pilot episode of “The Fosters” is a pretty entertaining and well-plotted introduction to the series. It breezily introduces the characters, conflicts and relationships and confronts reactions to all three head-on without treacle or mawkishness. For the most part, the scenarios feel real and there’s a lived-in quality to the family.
As teen soaps go, “The Fosters” is far from worthless in its initial outing. Now it’s up to the show’s writers to make the show worth watching on a weekly basis.

The Fosters’ Series Premiere Recap: A New Addition Shakes Up The Family
It’s hard not to love The Fosters, because it’s hard not to love the Fosters. They’re a non-traditional family, in every sense of the word, yet they seem to function better than most. Stef and Lena (Sherri Saum) value love and acceptance over all else, which breeds a culture of honesty and community in their admittedly blended family.
It’s through this practice that the Fosters are able to tackle any problem that comes their way — and believe me, there will be plenty of problems.

“The Fosters” could be this summer’s answer to “The OC”
If that Fox classic and "Switched at Birth" had a TV baby, it might look something like "The Fosters"
It’s really about family, and an extremely diverse one at that. (When Callie sits down to dinner, she asks, “So you’re ****s?” Dryly, one of the twins responds, “We like to think of them as people.”)
And that means the show that “The Fosters” most resembles is the best summer show of all: “The OC,” in which a highly functional SoCal clan took in a troubled boy and made him their son. “The Fosters” has no character as singular, charming or chatty as Seth Cohen, which — like every other show on TV — it could use. But Callie has a lot of Ryan Atwood in her and Stef and Lena’s marriage seems as functional, appealing and aspirational as the Cohens’. If “The Fosters” ends up being half as good as “The OC,” I’ll be watching all summer long

'The Fosters' Are an Earnest, Sort of New, Normal Family
By Maysa Hattab 3 June 2013
There’s plenty of potential drama in the lives of both women: Stef and Lena are a likeable pair, holding down admirable, responsible jobs as a policewoman and the vice-principal of a school. They cope with casual homophobia, workplace strife, and errant children with equal grace. To undercut their apparent saintliness, the show offers a pleasing tension in their relationship with Brandon’s biological father, and the twins’ confusion relating to their own birth mother. Both of these subplots broach, superficially at least, the emotional and political complications of striving for color- culture-blindness in cross-racial adoptions.

Jennifer Lopez: I've done absurd things
Jennifer Lopez is able to look back and giggle at some of the work she has produced with her ex-partners.

Jennifer Lopez now realises how "absurd" some of her collaborations with ex-partners were.

The singer-and-actress has dated several men in the limelight, famously shooting flop movie Gigli with her former fiancé Ben Affleck. She also recorded a duet with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, but has no regrets about either decision.

"No! No, I'm OK with it," she laughed, when Stylist magazine asked if the works bothered her. "They are all different eras in your life and I honestly get a lot of joy from looking back - and a lot of laughter, even when it didn't work out so great. With distance and time you realise what you learned from it and how absurd certain things were. It was like life and death for me at the time but I look back now and giggle."

After taking some time off from music, the star is back with a new album. It is her eighth solo record and the first single is called Live It Up. A lot has changed during the 43-year-old's time in the industry and she's proud to have achieved such longevity.

Jennifer is also glad to see that female singers have become a force to be reckoned with over the years.

"Women have taken over the music industry - when you think of all the female artists who are out. Even going back 20 years, back to Cher, Gloria Estefan and that whole time with Mariah Carey and Céline Dion and then the next wave which was me and Britney and Beyoncé to what's continued to now with Rihanna and Lady Gaga. With all these people there have been a few guys but we have really had it on lock for a little bit," she enthused.

Despite her glowing review of other female artists, the star doesn't seem too happy to be called a feminist. She believes in women's rights wholeheartedly, but feels the term is outdated.

"Feminist?! I don't even know what that means anymore. It feels like such a '60s word," she said. "Isn't everybody? I don't know, I am a very girly girl, I have a lot of girly friends and I cherish my time with them. They help me through everything. You think about relationships and people going in and out of your life but the women in your life are always there."

“Jennifer Lopez has told FOX executives she wants an ‘American Idol’ redux in the wake of Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson’s exits,” reports RadarOnline.

A supposed “source” tells the webloid, “J.LO’s manager, Benny Medina, was in talks with FOX even before Mariah and Nicki announced their departures last week.”

The alleged “insider” claims, “Benny told FOX that she does indeed want to return. They’re talking.”

“Negotiations are in their infant stages, but they’re underway to get her back to the judges’ table,” adds the so-called source.

Really?

Nope.

Actually, negotiations are in their nonexistent stages, because a close Lopez friend tells Gossip Cop “no” discussions are currently taking place about the singer-actress returning to the show.

Oops.
